Our negative voice is one of the greatest things that hold us back. The negative voice is the negative mindset and it is the mind that says “you can’t do that” or “you are not good enough” The voice in our head that says, “no you can’t”. Unless we rise above the negative mindset we have no hope of rising above anything.
Sarah Otten is a highly successful Senior Leader in the Biotech & Pharmaceutical Industry and I had the honour and pleasure to interview her in May 2020.
During the interview Sarah gave an honest & inspiring account of the challenges she’s overcome, the leader she’s become and some excellent advice to help us all step into who we aspire to be.
There is a series of 12 short videos
3 things that stop rising above the negative mindset?
- Listening to the negative voice – not listening to the positive voice
- Not standing up for myself when I believed that I should have been more acknowledged or appreciated
- Believing that I wasn’t at the same level as other people and I didn’t deserve to be in a higher role – that is a lie
So the advice to us all: –
- Stand up for yourself and when you accomplish something, let people know, let the leadership know
- Having a louder voice doesn’t always work out but at least you know you’ve done it
